chances are they already know. i don't know your kids but i know me, and from a very early age i had an inquisitive mind, there wasn't a thing that could be hidden from me. my dads stash didn't stand a chance!

I try and be nice to my bro and smoke him up the few times he asks. He's not a pot head but likes to smoke and play xbox before bead some nights so if it keeps em out of my stash and grow i'll smoke em up.

i have kept everything open with my son as far as drugs and guns goes. if they are around them openly as everyday life, its no big deal to them. my son knows how to handle firearms as well as any adult because he was taught from a very young age(5 or so) that they are to be respected. this goes the same for weed. we have never tried to hide the fact that people in our family smoke and he knows about my grow and how important it is to keep quiet. he is 10 now and is not kept from knowing the way of the world. the biggest thing is kids are taught yhat weed and all that is the worse thing in the world. with that being pounded in their heads everyday at school n on tv, they will freak out when they discover it on their own. thats when they decide they need to sound all alarms because the only thing they know, is what they learned in school and that is to snitch out your family for the better good of society. in my case, my son knows thats bull shit because i have taught him the truth about weed and other drugs. he knows that weed isn't going to distroy his family like other hard drugs might. he also knows that CPS would distroy his family over somthingas small as growing plants. itmay be differant in my case because he is a only child and has been around adults his whole life, which probably made him more mature for his age. i guess it really comes down to if you think your child could keep such a big secret or if he/she might be a chatter box. all kids are differant.

I private messages him and said I can help answering any questions on growing. All of a sudden all he wants is to buy weed and asking where abouts I live.

I seen him on the local boards in NZ and he is exactly the same. Always trying to hook up and always disliked.

When I called him on it, al though to be fair it did get heated, but now I'm unable to see his post as he got the mods onto me.

Good post, I also use firearms and have taught him about those safely.

I'm sure I'll be fine. We are very open. But I'd be crazy if I didn't think about it.

Here's to hoping that it'll be legal to grow in your area when your kids get to that age. If not, like others have said, get a new place to grow, or be honest with your kids.

Sometimes you have to sacrifice one thing for another.
I quit cannabis for 24 years because of family and career.
Career is done, family is grown-up.
Cannabis back.

I'll make room for the cannabis lol. Without it, I'm a miserable prick sometimes which wouldn't be good for the family's quality of life. But I feel ya, you sometimes have to make sacrifices which is what being a man is all about.

At present my kids are to young to worry about going to the basement, but what happens when they become teens. I know when I was a teen, my dad could never have hidden a grow room from me.

Sucks that ill have to shut it all down, just not worth the risk them finding out and talking about it with mates.

Anyone else in the same boat.

I was in that boat many years back but not growing indoor, partially for the reason you mention. I just grew outdoor and more than enough to last me the year. When he was around 17 I caught my son growing in a small cab in his room, no biggie, just told him to keep it stealth and small, eventually we moved it outdoor and taught him the ropes, his mother was not very MJ friendly, one of many reasons she's my ex ;) We both grow and share since he was about 19, nice to have someone to share this stuff with and not have to worry about it. You won't stop your kids from doing it but it's helpful to have those conversations when the time comes but not to make it taboo. Much the same with alcohol (imo much worse than MJ) He doesn't drink other than the odd beer and hardly smokes now but loves growing as much as I do.

I have 2 teens. Tried to hide it at first. No chance with teens. They know or they'll find out. Thing is my kids have always knew how I've felt about certain issues. I don't hide the way I feel. So it wasn't a big deal for them to find out. And for my house they know it's used for medicine.
